Yan Ning immediately guessed that the two people were her uncle and aunt.
Jiang Lan, with her sharp eyes, spotted Yan Ning immediately.
Her eyes darted around, a gentle smile spreading across her face. She quickly stepped forward and said with a beaming smile:
"You must be Yan Ning. Oh my, it's been more than ten years since I last saw you. You've grown into a beautiful young woman."
"You're growing more and more like your mother. Every time I see you, I'm reminded of what your mother looked like when she was young."
As she spoke, she took Yan Ning's hand and patted it gently.
Su Yunting stood to the side, arms crossed, brows furrowed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, without saying a word.
In the very center of the hall sat Su Chengyue, the patriarch of the Su family.
His face was cold and stern as he looked directly at Yan Ning, his voice somewhat serious as he said:
"You're Su Yanning? Bai Xueshu's biological daughter?"
Yan Ning nodded, her voice not loud but clear and strong:
"Yes, Grandpa."
Yan Ning was not given a name when she was stolen, so when she was reunited with her family, she used the name given by her master, with the character "Su" added to the beginning.
At this moment, Bai Yuzhen walked over from the side, her face showing concern. She put her arm around Yan Ning's shoulder and echoed:
"I searched for Yan Ning for a long time before I finally found her. After she was stolen, she was abandoned at Qingshan Temple and raised by Daoist Xuanqing."
Jiang Lan still wore a friendly smile. She took Yan Ning's hand and began to look him up and down, asking:
"Yan Ning, how old are you this year? Have you ever been to school?"
Yan Ning remained calm, gently shook her head, and answered truthfully:
“I’m 18 this year. I’ve never been to school. I’ve been with my master all these years.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment, and a subtle atmosphere began to spread.
Jiang Lan smiled and subtly winked at Su Yunting.
Su Yunting understood immediately, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said:
"Oh, he's so old and has never been to school. It's such a shame that he was stolen back then."
"But it's alright. A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. The Su family is a large and wealthy family, so they won't starve you."
Yan Ning immediately understood the meaning behind their words. The two of them were trying to make her aware of her status in the Su family.
For a country girl who has never been to school, being able to have a meal from the Su family is already a great favor!
